Paradise Quilt

Each of my quilts reflect a part of my heart and bears a title symbolizing something meaningful to me, and I think this one is my most prized quilt.

This fabric really caught my eye. I love deep contrasting colors, and the deep green felt almost velvety to me. Then I saw the fabric with these beautiful flowers, and I knew the flowers belonged with deep green fabric. The blossoms reminded me of the gardenia plant that we had in our back yard in Santa Barbara. We also had a hedge of jasmine around the back yard and enjoyed relaxing in the back yard during summer evenings with all the wonderful fragrances. Thus the name of this quilt, “Paradise.”
